U20s win with a BP after a poor first half against Scotland but all to no avail as England come back from 21-5 down to win 45-31 away to France. If France had even tried to defend they'd have won comfortably. Terribly shoddy performance.

Ireland are now 14-1-0 in the last three years.

France were very sloppy towards the end and butchered good possession deep in England territory.

From the moment they conceded the final try they must have cocked up no less than six really solid attacking platforms with 30m of the English line.

Ireland never controlled the match. They weren't accurate enough. England imposed their terms.
That is what makes the 6N such a great competition. Competition
A Grand Slam is valued because it is so hard to win.

Dunno what the f**k you're talking about, but the above comment was in relation to the France-England U20s game last night.

I'm delighted for Italy. Genuinely I am.

But would it be wrong to suggest their sudden competitiveness owes at least as much to the other nations not taking this year's 6N as seriously?

Wales cheering trying not to get the wooden spoon, Italy had roasted their ass then stopped last 10mins when 17pts up.Shouldnt have give away that try in Injury time.

Scotland defensive line is very disciplined. The England players could have more to play for this evening than they expected.

You'd hope we can get the to tire and we get properly ahead towards the end of the game!

Watching Virgin here and Quinlan said it was a try but I didn't think he had control when the ball h it the ground. They should have given the penalty for head contact though!

Ireland pale shadow without Sexton, should try clock a few 3pters, not gun for a try every time . Some amount of knock ons
